In reading the articles for today, the thing that stuck out to me the most is how little we are living up to the potential of modern technology. This church article talks about how they are using computer assisted architectural design, member statistics management , a massive centralized genealogy database, and magnetically coded temple recommend cards. This is all great, but the most interesting thing is this was in the 1984 Ensign, only 3 years after the (debatable) debut of the personal computer! Sometimes it feels like ‘A Google! A Google! We have got a Google and there cannot be any more Google.’1 But if they could do things like this in the 80’s, our capacity to produce beneficial software today has limitless potential of which we’ve barely tapped.
